Watching videos
Use the player, understand VOD availability by plan, resume where you left off, and watch age-restricted content.
VOD availability
Whether you can play a VOD depends on your plan:
| Plan | When a VOD becomes watchable |
|---|---|
| Free | Not available. Clips and highlights are still free to watch. |
| Basic | 24 hours after the VOD is published. |
| Standard, Premium | As soon as the VOD is published. |
When a VOD isn’t available to you yet, the video page shows when it will be, with an option to upgrade and watch now. See Plans.
